Note: HTC Vive version was developed using Leap Motion driver alpha0.8 for Steam VR and a CV1, so maybe you find some bugs.

After getting lost in the wrong levels for an eternity I got a new unknown area, where ancient constructions and technology meets without a reason. Again the same questions unanswered. Who had built this world apparently abandoned? what was my role in all this? I have to find out.

It's looking like virtual reality will take center stage at Intel's Developer Conference in a couple weeks. Dimitri Diakopoulos, an engineer on Intel's VR team tweeted out an image of an HTC Vive with an attachment featuring six camera holes that could be used for a hand-tracking system or something similar.

On Twitter, Diakopoulos said the depth-sensing modification was a prototype, and in a conversation with UploadVR, hinted that the setup could be used to detect the environment around you, which could help you avoid stepping on your cat while you play Fallout 4. (Cat detection is key for the future of VR.) Theoretically, the cameras could also be used as an improved version of the front-facing camera currently on the HTC Vive.

We should find out more about Intel's plan for the HTC Vive, and VR in general on August 16th when the Intel Developer Conference kicks off.
